Feedback or statistics

Beside trial and error, how can we know that files were actually processed for indexing? To debug or verify the functionality of this module, it would be interesting to know how many files were processed. Is there a way to find out? If not could this be changed into a feature request?

How it works?

I am talking here about a large intranet site we are upgrading from d6 where we used another module for search indexing files that was not available any more in d7.

I first installed the core solr integration module and tested its functionality. Now I want to add the attachments. How are the files actually indexed? Is it going through the files table or nodes table? Is it doing that in a separate batch or to get the attachments indexed, should I now reindex everything?

Apparently re-indexing was needed. The way to find out about files is to use the solr query page and search for things like "url:*.pdf".

Would be good to add this kind of diagnostic tips to the documentation:

When Apache Solr Attachments was added afterwards, then re-indexing is necessary. To diagnose functionaly, use the solr search at <your-domain>:<your-port>/solr/admin/ for something like url:*.pdf or url:*.doc. The results will show if any files were indexed.
